B&G WS320 Wireless Wind Sensor Pack with Interface

High precision wind sensor

The B&G WS320 Wireless Wind Sensor Pack is the perfect solution for any sailor looking to get accurate and fast wind data to their instruments, which is easy to install without a cable through the mast. The WS320 is a high precision wireless wind sensor designed for cruising and club racing. This wireless wind sensor pack offers a high performance solution, with exceptional data accuracy and improved aerodynamics, which is easy to install.

High performance
Designed to provide highly accurate wind data in all conditions at all points of sail and heel. WS320 has been benchmarked against multiple different sensors in over 500 individual wind tunnel tests.

No compromise wireless
Easy to install and light-weight, ideal for smaller boats – without compromising performance for wireless convenience. WS320 has the same accuracy (both wind angle and wind speed) as the wired version, while outputting wind at a super smooth 5 times every second.

Reliability
As the most exposed sensor on a yacht, the wind sensor – critical for instruments and autopilot steering – must meet an exceptionally high standard. In addition to B&G's extreme testing programme, the WS320 sensors have been subject to combined field tests of over 200,000 hours.
